    You should push through the upgrade to p5 and try with that.  This looks like
    one of the parsing compatibility bugs that I fixed in that release.

    To see what's happening, you can use `more' to page through the database,
    searching for the string `#246:9'.  That string will appear on a line by itself
    just before the code for the verb in question, which will end with a period on
    a line by itself.  Line 5 of that code is causing the problem.

    If you do get p5 working (why won't it?) and it doesn't fix this problem, then
    please send me the code for the verb in question so that I can work out what's
    happening.
